Down
|

I Think
|

Die
|
Nov 07, 2020

While I had often said that I wanted to die in bed, what I really meant was that in my old age I wanted to be stepped on by an elephant while making love.

Exercise
|
Nov 07, 2020

I read poetry every day. I look at it as an exercise, a kind of T'ai Chi for writers. It teaches economy of form.

Always
|
Nov 07, 2020

I always wanted to write, ever since I was a kid. I started writing at the age of 11. All I wanted to do was finish my education and have my nights free for writing.

Learning
|
Nov 07, 2020

Ultimately, you've got to have something to say, so a writer should continue learning things throughout life. But I don't think education makes one a writer.

Part
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's hard not to be a part of your time.

Nov 07, 2020

I find fantasy easier to write. If I'm going to write science fiction, I spend a lot more time thinking up justifications. I can write fantasy without thinking as much. I like to balance things out: a certain amount of fantasy and a certain amount of science fiction.

Imagination
|
Nov 07, 2020

In a sense, fantasy is a freer play of the imagination. You can achieve exactly the situation you want with less groundwork, less of a need to fill in all of the background. For science fiction, I would use a lot of sources to set up, for instance, what a being from another planet would be like.

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

I care more, and I think readers do also, for characters in a state of transformation.

I Am

Me

Nov 07, 2020

Feeling
|
Nov 07, 2020

In the Soviet Union, you always have the feeling someone is watching you.

Just
|
Nov 07, 2020

I enjoy travel very much. I've taken the kids to Europe when there were just the two boys.

Character
|
Nov 07, 2020

The places where I have the nameless character in 'My Name Is Legion' meet his boss are real places I've been to. That works well for tax purposes, writing into my stories the places I've actually visited.

First Time
|
Nov 07, 2020

The first time I met Harlan Ellison, we were both unpublished young punks in Cleveland, Ohio.

Face
|
Nov 07, 2020

I got the idea for my novel 'Lord of Light' when I cut myself shaving just before I was to go on a panel at a convention. I had to go out there with this big gash in my face. I remember that I thought, 'I wish I could change bodies.'

Light
|
Nov 07, 2020

I read Herman Hesse's 'Siddhartha' while I was writing 'Lord of Light' along with many other things. It seemed a good time to read it so I could see what he had to say about Buddha. In my first chapter, I was thinking in terms of the big battle scene in the 'Mahabarata.' It helped me in visualizing the battle in my novel.

Nov 07, 2020

I was writing 'He Who Shapes' when I was working for the Social Security Administration in Baltimore.
